Cuts Out Chair with Chain Saw ~~yor Hints at Hanky Panky Tratler Meeting Ends In& faessi The Rice Brothers development plan for a Wilmot Creek area mobile home village and Councillors for the Town of Newcastle received rough handling at a public meeting called Thursday to discuss the, Rice proposal. 1The meeting was a lively one, with many members of the audience voicing hostility to the Rice proposal and Mayor Garnet Riekard hinting at Council hanky panky when it approved the Rice project in principle at a September 2nd Council meeting. The-gathering, held in the Pines Senior Public School on Highway 115-35, attracted upwards of 60 people. It was called and chaired by Doug Moffatt, Durham East's newly elected NDP member. Most of the cri-ticism of the Rice idea was based on two subjects, the alleged use of good agricultural Iand for a 'housing development and the supposed disadvant- age of the plan's site on the lake front west of the former Village of Newcastle.

Any senior citize-ns intereste-d in taking the tour should read the details in the Kinsmen advertisement on -page 7 of the first section. WHERE DID THEY GO? - We don't know what's doing it, but we're having problems figuring just how many papers to print each week. Ever since early in September, we 've been short although we've printed several hundred more, each week to meet the demand. At the moment, there are none of last week's issue remaining at The Statesmian and few are elft in the stores. But, that's much better than having piles of them returned unrsold, so keep buying themn and we'll keep prining more so long as the. paper supply lasts>. RETUrN HOME - This Saturday, the Durhamn County C"lub of Toronto wilhl be taking their aninual bus tour through the area. in the mnorning they wil stop at The Statesman office for a quick tour of the plant, then on to Pontypool for lunch, the Arts & Crafts Shop at Bethany, the Ma Ple Leaf Milling facilities in Cavan, on to Millbrook and then turkey dinner at Ida. If the weather stays as warm as it was early in the week, they should have a great time. FIRE PREVENTION - Next week is Fire Pre- vention Week. There are a couple of pages in this issue concerning it, and an article is being prepared on the history of the local fire depart- ment for niext week, including some early photos that shoulid be interesting. SOME KESULTS - Last week, one of our -staff members inserted a classified advertisement for an itemn to be sold and was deluged with callsý on Wednesday and again on Thursday. The calîs wereý stli comning in on Tuesday of this week for a total of' more than 20 calîs. Last week,, a Work Wanted advertiser asked to have his advertisement removed because he had more work than he could handie. PLOWING MATCH - The weather was not, the, best for the World Plowing Match la st week,' but it could have been worse, and was a week earlier. 'The crowds were tremendous during the five days and everyone seemed to be having a great time, including many urbanites who found that rural-type entertainment can be quite exciting. Actually, the plowing was so slow and pains,-tak.,ing that unless you k-new; what they were doing, àit was not too thrihing. As one farma woman-P told us ^'My husband would neyer get a f ield plowed if he went that14 slowly."1 Togetherness ...
